Just wondering how apples affect everyone...
In an effort to get my readings lower I've cut out pretty much all fruit at the moment except apples. (I figured once my blood sugars get down where I want them I can start adding some fruit back in and see how it affects me...)
Currently getting the vast majority of my carbs from veggies... mostly broccoli, cauliflower, celery (does celery really have any carb content?), carrots, spinach, romaine lettuce, onion, peppers...
I haven't cut out apples because ... well ... I love apples. Always have.
They're supposed to be low-GI according to everything I've seen... but it makes sense to me that an apple is ... well, fruit sugar...
So I'm doing an involuntary survey of y'all to see how apples affect you before I make a decision to cut or not cut...
Thanks!
Oh, and in addition: I see conflicting info on carrots... Some are saying it's a high-GI veggie... some are saying those were flawed tests, and carrots are fine... any input?
